+1 i like the way Geoscan does this feature

Another +1

Struggling with 16GB RAM due to stupidly high point cloud, there are areas I need details and areas where I don't
I now have 200,256,361 points and trying to merge with another even bigger chunk which makes it run out of memory

New function of mesh smooting is fine, but has a terrible impact on buildings (rounded corners). Is there a possibility to have a filter preserving planar surfaces ?

There needs to be a way to decimate the dense point cloud.

As it stands, I can easily generate point clouds of 50 million or more points from hundreds of photos, but the whole thing dies as soon as it attempts to generate a mesh. By "dies" I mean just that - it doesn't even exit gracefully. PhotoScan just disappears, having crashed.

My limit is about 45 million points. Currently there is no way to export the cloud, decimate it, and re-import it and I'm rather baffled that this is not even available, even if there is no built in decimation or filtering.

+1, I have to use derivated ways to decimate / resample / mesh parts of cloud that fit my needs. I'd love to have a whole PhotoScan pipeline and be able to do everything I need from A to Z not having to switch between softwares!
Best regards.

Just the other day, I was wondering why Gradual Selection is not available for dense points?

Nearly 4 years since this thread was started. A year since I last commented. One of a few threads on this particular topic.

Come on Agisoft. Don't you ever read this forum? This doesn't appear to be very complex to implement and would make the whole application far easier to use. Either that or provide a proper sliding scale for photos rather than Ultra, High, Medium, etc.

Hi cbnewham !
Everybody is asking for that kind of tool, and me too...
But when you look at other softwares, which are specialized in point cloud processing, decimating tool is never instantaneous, which means it's not an easy process.
No answer for Agisoft doesn't mean they didn't read it by the way.
The used sliding scale corresponds to picture downscale which is the only thing that can be control. What else would you have ? Any other sliding scale would include a decimating step (the same we have for meshing), and for the moment there is not.

For maddin, to my mind gradual selection tools are based on image data, because sparse cloud is composed of points linked with pictures. Whereas in dense cloud, points are independent from pictures after its generation. So none process can be based on gradual selection functioning.

Just the other day, I was wondering why Gradual Selection is not available for dense points?
